Our Place Of Refuge (Part 2)

Contributed by Dennis Lee on Jan 9, 2022

This week, I’d like to pick up our study on how the Cities of Refuge resemble Jesus, how He is not only our sure refuge, but also how He is our judge, that is, our great High Priest. I’d also like to take a closer look at what Jesus rescues us from and is a refuge in, and what sort of refuge He is

Our Place of Refuge (Part 2) Watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NhHVs4uvp08 Last week, I began a two-part message talking about how Jesus is our refuge in these troublous times we find ourselves in. And the onus or burden of how He is our refuge came from the Old Testament example of how God ...read more

God Gives The Earth To Us (Joshua 10:29-11:23) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 12, 2022

Joshua is systematically killing off the nephilim, so that God's people can inherit the land, and have true "rest."

If you walk up to a random Christian in church, and ask them what the book of Joshua is about, they will tell you it's about the conquest of the land God promised Israel. But consider this: we are almost through Joshua 10, and at this point in the book, Joshua has conquered three cities: ...read more

Jesus Falls, Part I Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jan 13, 2022

Breaking Free From Fear

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 21, 2022

Fear, especially the fear of death, can turn us into slaves living in bondage. The devil uses fear to rob us of our freedom and abundant life. He uses fear to seize us, take hold of us, and suck the life right out of us! But the Son sets us free!

In John 8:36 we read, “Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.” We all desire abundant life, but if we are held in bondage then we are not experiencing true life; and one major thing that holds us captive is “fear.” Frank Herbert, in his Dune Chronicles, says that the “fear ...read more

Boldness To Approach Based In What We Believe.

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 31, 2022

The Christian faith, what we believe, can be broken down into several Biblical propositions. This is the basis of all the great Creeds, Catechisms, and Confessions of Faith of the historic church. When we believe right, then we can pray with holy boldness.

BOLDNESS TO APPROACH BASED IN WHAT WE BELIEVE. Hebrews 4:14-16. 1. “Let us hold fast our profession” (Hebrews 4:14). Our “profession” is our confession of faith, our belief, in Jesus. It is based in several facts, some of which are evident in these verses. Jesus is “our great high ...read more

The Journey

Contributed by Dennis Lee on Jun 5, 2022

Pastor Dennis looks at God’s promised presence and rest to the children of Israel on their journey from Egypt to the Promised Land, and how that same presence and rest of God accompanies us on our journey through the wilderness of this world filled with desolation, trials, difficulties and an enemy.

The Journey Exodus 33:14 Watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtPCqEgRAZo As Michaela and I were away the other week, I began to meditate upon this Scripture and the journey we are upon as God’s people.

Tearing Down To Build

Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Jul 1, 2022

To get that beautiful home renovation there is a great deal of tear down with debris that needs to be cleaned up before you can build.

Sermon On Diffidence

Contributed by William Meakin on Jul 9, 2022

Diffidence is defined as modesty or shyness resulting from a lack of self-confidence.

John Balguy, an English divine and philosopher once remarked: “Whoever is wise is apt to suspect and be diffident of himself, and upon that account is willing to "hearken unto counsel,” whereas the foolish man, being in proportion to his folly full of himself, and swallowed up in conceit, will ...read more

Elisha In His Early Ministry – Part 1 - The Judgement Is Bad Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jul 15, 2022

Men have become followers, not leaders. In too many cases men have abrogated their positions through a bad Christian walk, laziness; a careless, unconcerned walk with the Lord. A failure to be students of scripture with nothing that God can use, leaves a spiritual vacuum for the next generation.

"god's Mercy Seat."

Contributed by Dr. Jerry Hulse on Jul 16, 2022

God is beyond our comprehension as our limited three-pound brain cannot fathom his true nature. He has always existed and is the ultimate ruler of everything. Therefore, he does not rely on any created thing to sustain him, but everything that exists must depend on him for its continued existence.

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jul 19, 2022

Gehazi had to meet Elisha where he lied to Elisha, and God judged him by making him a leper. At that point Gehazi and Elisha separated for good. This sad, but important story has many lessons to teach us about our own deceitful natures.
